  The ploy of mentioning that Gary Kasparov had
"renounced" the champion's unfair advantage has
come back to bite.

  In fact, the only real "advocate of fair play" I can
think of offhand is Larry Evans, in his famous
article in Chess Life where he refused to endorse
the unfair "demands" of Bobby Fischer.   Some
time afterward, a crotchety old man replaced the
real Larry Evans, and in this new form, he began
attempting every conceivable method to "justify"
what had happenned, and ****ft the blame to
anyone *but* Bobby Fischer.

  This shape-****fting, blame-transferring incarnation
of Larry Evans is the one that countless critics have
identified as being fundamentally dishonest.   But
how could he be otherwise?  You want to know
what's really funny?  Today, in the real chess world,
"we" -- that is the USA -- have another contender
for the world champion****p title, but because he is
not a native-born American, the Evans ratpack
does not recognize that he exists!  Too bad
Larry Christiansen or Nick "gimme another, and
make it a double" DeFirmian were not better chess
players.
